Do me a favor, and put your card in, type "dmesg" in a terminal, and tell me what it says (like the last 15 lines or so about the Orinoco card).
Punch in a "lspci" too.
Sure thing...
$ dmesg

Oh crud... it's running firmware 8.72, not 6.16! Whoops!
Guess that "might" explain why the monitor mode is not working with my card and the default FC5 Orinoco drivers. Ugh... unfortunately, I don't know where to get a hold of the older Orinoco firmware revisions. Perchance could someone point me in the right direction?
I don't suppose plasmahh might be working on an updated 0.13e driver for 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5, eh? Nah, I'm probably not that lucky.
Of course, even if he were, I still hate the idea of having to recompile the bloody kernel just to get it working.
Since you asked for it, I've listed a copy of my "lspci" output below. Note that this laptop also has a built-in Broadcom 43xx series wireless adapter.
